Textiles to Transform – that is what Mehler Texnologies® has been doing since 1837. A new transformation process has just begun: Mehler Texnologies® is joining the Freudenberg Group with the latter’s acquisition of the Low & Bonar Group.

The Freudenberg Group is a German privately held diversified group of companies with a strong tradition in textiles. Carl Johann Freudenberg founded his company in Weinheim in 1849. Less than 200 kilometers away and around the same time, Valentin Mehler opened his weaving mill in Fulda.

Mehler Texnologies® coated technical textiles will enhance Freudenberg’s ample portfolio with complementary products. With the group’s strong financial backing and large R&D commitments, Mehler Texnologies® will gain further strength and looks forward to “Innovating Together” in close collaboration with customers, business partners and the world of science.

Mehler Texnologies® world-renowned brands VALMEX®, POLYMAR®, AIRTEX® and PLASTEL® will continue to stand for high performance coated textiles transformable into stadium roofs, truck tarpaulins, industrial covers, sun protection, tents, pool covers, boats, flexible containers, building façades and other countless applications. At the same time, Mehler Texnologies® team will continue to provide the same high level of service and commitment to customers: transforming the customers’ needs into coated fabrics, innovating according to future demand and supplying high quality products “Made in Germany”.

TENSINET as INTERNATIONAL NON-PROFIT ASSOCIATION

The idea of TensiNet became reality in 1999 as a proposal for a European research project, which ran till 2004.

TensiNet continued the established network of experts of our industry under the wings of Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

Last year we decided to get on our own feet, and to transform TensiNet into an international non-profit association (INPA).

Recently, with a delay due to COVID-19, the deed was signed at the notary!
